Roadmap · Updated 22 August 2026

Two products, two different clocks — here's where each one stands.

A working roadmap from a small team. Dates may shift while real-tournament stability stays the priority over speed.

SwissMax

  1. Done / Pilot

    Registration, pairing graphics, LAN scoring & Winner Studio

    Data cleanup and Swiss-Manager export, 13 premium pairing templates, multi-phone LAN score collection, and winner poster generation — all in active private-pilot use.

  2. Done / Pilot

    Estimated Ratings & upgraded Player Lookup

    Preview a player's likely FIDE and MCF rating change before results go official, plus a combined FIDE/MCF player profile card. See the changelog for details.

  3. Now

    Real-tournament validation

    Pilot testing across more live events with real organizers and real halls.

  4. Next

    Refresh & Compare, and a single pre-publish check

    Highlight which boards changed after a new pairing round is published, and one combined "ready to publish" check before sharing or exporting.

  5. Later

    Public pricing & checkout

    Trial activation, licensing and the buy flow — published once the terms are finalised. Register interest for the announcement.

  6. Not chasing right now

    A "trusted publisher" certificate

    That Windows badge costs real money every year we'd rather spend building more chess tools. Full honest reason on the SwissMax FAQ.

ChessZCam

  1. Done / Beta

    Phone detection + Live PC overlay

    Camera move detection, LAN hub, vMix/OBS browser overlay, tested at real venues.

  2. Now

    Polish, payments & early access

    Store unlock, downloads, waitlist discounts, docs, and feedback-driven fixes.

  3. Next

    OBS presets & easier venue mode

    One-click setup guides, simpler operator mode for club volunteers.

  4. Later
